These are violations by the Ontario Provincial Police officers dealing with statues such as the Highway Traffic Act, Liquor Control Act, Police Services Act, Child and Family Services Act, Mental Health Act, etc.

Provincial police announced Friday they had laid traffic charges against two officers in separate crashes in the Southwestern Ontario region.

The first incident occurred in Innerkip on May 31, when an Oxford County OPP officer reversed out of a private driveway onto Blandford St. and hit a parked vehicle on the other side of the roadway, police said.

A week later, a Perth County OPP officer reversed into the back corner of a stopped vehicle waiting at a red light on Queen St. in St. Marys, police said.

There were no injuries in either case and both officers are charged under the Highway Traffic Act.
